2023 to 2024 Happy New Year

Mixamo was used for the figure animation and model. The numbers were created with Element3D along with some animation.

Happy New Year.

Happy Christmas 2023

The dancing Santa is a 3D model from Pond5. Animation is done using Mixamo and rendered in Element3D with After Effects. The background images of the cabin and the interior are generated using Adobe Firefly. I separated the foreground trees and the cabin, then offset their position in 3D space to give a sense of depth and movement. Trapcode Particular was used for the smoke out of the chimney, the snow and the stars on the Happy Christmas.

Happy Christmas

FootBall Pitch at Peasedown St. John

A short video of the football pitch at Peasedown St. John. Filmed with my drone last year over a couple of days. As I’m still new to drone flying I wanted to film something that would help me become more comfortable with certain shots. As no one was on the pitch it became a useful focal point. Because I filmed over a couple of days and at different times, the footage does suffer from grain and slight differences in colour, but I think it still turned out ok.

Sci-Fi Box Animation

A Sci Fi box animation created in After Effects with Element 3D. A multi object cub animating between another multi object cube and then back again, using the animation engine in Element 3D.

2022 to 2023 Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Animation made with Element 3D in Adobe After Effects.

Happy Christmas 2022

Made with 3D text layers and masked 3D slices. JEH logo was made in Element3D.

Lego Firework Animation

The Lego firework rocket was made in Studio and animated in After Effects. The firework explosion was created with Trapcode Particular with Lego bricks rendered from Studio as a sprite.

Fall Back Time!

It’s Fall Back Time! The clocks go back one hour. The figure falling back is from Mixamo and brought into Element3D. The leaves were animated with Trapcode Particular.

Puzzle Cube Animation

My attempt at creating a Rubik’s Cube animation in After Effects with Element 3D. I used the basic cube in Element 3D to make the collection of cubes, that make up the puzzle. The colour panels were made with an extruded mask. For the animation I had to use two copies of the puzzle, one for the vertical and one for the horizontal.

May The 4th Be With You!

Happy Star Wars day!
